Cheaper than a takeaway and a fun activity to do with friends or family, this homemade pizza goes down a treat! Serve with side salad or veggies.

Serves 2

INGREDIENTS

200g flour

1 tbsp olive oil

1/2 tsp yeast

1/2 tsp salt

150ml water

TOPPING IDEAS (in photo)

Margherita:

50g mozzarella

30g tomato passata

1 tsp dried basil

Hawaiian:

3 rungs of canned pineapple (in juice)

4 slices of prosciutto ham

50g mozzarella

Tuna and Olive:

1 can of tuna in brine

10 sliced black olives, halved

50g mozzarella

METHOD

Preheat oven to 8/220

Mix flour, yeast and salt with fingers.

Make a well in the middle of the flour mix, and add the oil and half the water. Feed the flour mix into the water, whilst slowly adding most of the other half of the water.

Mix well with your hands, using the leftover water if needed.

Take out of bowl and put on floured surface, and knead for 10 minutes.

Roll out into a pizza base (there is no need to let the dough rise).

Add whatever toppings you are fancying!

Bake for 10-12minutes until the base is crispy and the cheese has melted.

Enjoy!

NUTRITION
